Official 2016 Olympic Trials Day 3 Live Discussion Thread

Allyson Felix runs the last 100 of a 400 better than anyone you'll ever see.

Seems like to me that Felix was the only one who knew how to run a 400 ... everyone else went out to fast

Did Natasha Hastings join the Insane Clown Posse?

(3) 49.91 Quanera Hayes USA

(4) 50.23 Francena McCorory USA

You gotta feel for US 400 women as it's so hard for them.

A great race for Felix.

I feel really bad for my picks actually. Some of the women will be in the relay pool

Boldin kept talking about her strength ... that's just dumb, Felix is the fastest of these girls (see 200m speed), she just ran a proper race.

Sure seemed that way. She looked amazing. A sight to behold coming off that curve.

That's Boldon and NBC coverage for you. They always say innane crap.

Thanks for your input. I thought you were grounded this week?

don't shoot the messenger

I concur with those calculations. I have no knowledge of what form these athletes are in for the 1500M except for the PBs. On the face of it Taiwo has a vastly superior PB with a difference well over 14 seconds. On the other hand conditions are not good which I think favors Scantling. And Scantling will inherently have a measure of control over the race running behind Taiwo and getting the measure of the distance between them. It could be very close.

This gonna be a tough battle between Taiwo and Scantling for 3rd.

Scantlings got a 90 point lead, but Taiwo has a much better 1500m.

Taiwo may be tired from all those jumps in the pole vault, we'll see if he can execute.

He has an 87 point lead, which is 14 seconds in the 1500.

Scantling's best is 4:44 (his best this year is 5:07, which he achieved last year). Taiwo's best is 4:16, but that's a while ago. He is usually good for sub 4:20 however. His best this year is quite a bit slower than that (4:31).

Unless Scantling can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he will be watching the games on TV.

I guess that if you are Scantling, you shoot for 4:40 and hope for the best.

And this time they better put Francis in the relays!!!

And mcquay ran 1 sec slower than before LOL

Am I missing something? I can't find where this is being shown live. TV listings say it will be on at 7pm!? Help...

43.97!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lashawn Meritt is back on the penis pills!!!!!!!!

Gil Roberts ran a crazy race, but held on pretty well.

Also, Felix is a beautiful runner. Reminds me of rudisha, but attractice

Live on NBC. I swear.

NBC (in men's 400m) cut away before the 3rd placer crossed the line. Is this a new low in TV coverage?
